On Monday, in the course of current trade, Shares of Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), gained 1.41%, and is now trading at $80.31.
Facebook has declared plans to integrate the use of OpenPGP keys to keep user communication away from spying eyes.
In October last year, the social media giant declared the launch of a .onion address to allow Tor users to connect to Facebook through the anonymised Tor network. Tor, which recently closed down its Cloud Project to prevent security issues impacting upon the privacy of its users, is often used by those seeking to disguise their online activity — and has become increasingly popular since the disclosure of mass spying by government agencies by former US National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden.
The Facebook Tor address allows users to communicate directly with Facebook’s data centers, and SSL is also implemented for raised security.
Facebook, Inc. operates as a social networking company worldwide. It provides a set of development tools and application programming interfaces that enable developers to integrate with Facebook to create mobile and Web applications.

Hewlett-Packard Company, declared a series of innovations for the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage family, counting 25 percent lower cost flash capacity, a new class of massively scalable flash arrays, and flash-optimized data services to accelerate IT-as-a-Service consolidation and hybrid IT initiatives.
The ability to provide applications with predictable, high performance in less physical space has led IDC to forecast a 46 percent compound annual growth rate for all-flash arrays over the next five years.(1) According to Gartner, HP was the fastest growing flash vendor based on revenue from shipments of Solid-State Arrays in the market in 2014.(2) Customers are now looking to extend the benefits of those all-flash arrays across their data centers that go beyond performance, counting raised productivity and data center consolidation.
To accelerate transformation to the all-flash data center, HP is lowering the cost of all-flash storage to $1.50 per usable gigabyte and introducing ultra-dense and scalable flash systems. The new HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage 20000 enterprise flash family boosts performance with over 3.2 million IOPS at sub-millisecond latency and consumes 85% less space than traditional high-end arrays for massive footprint reduction. To support mission-critical workloads and enable greater agility, HP is unveiling flash-optimized software for end-to-end availability and non-disruptive workload balancing across the data center. These capabilities build on an already strong set of tier-1 data services unmatched by competitive all-flash arrays.
